last time trying turn
I feel like a thief. And I don't steal. Put two and two together. It ain't because of me. Ain't because of me. I had 50 in the first. You tell me. You do the math. Last time I checked. That's all I'm saying. They do what they do. They're trying to turn me into a thief, but I ain't a thief.
familiar football personnel twice type year
We are very familiar with Pittsburgh. It's going to be a hard-hitting type of football game. We play them twice a year every year. We are familiar with their personnel and they are familiar with our personnel.
We accomplished a lot, but we just didn't finish.
game pittsburgh road win
Pittsburgh is a big game for us. We have to take the show on the road and come away with a win any way we can.
believe looking offense
Looking at that offense from the sideline, it's unfair. We're going to see them again, believe me.
aspects ballgame behind came game needed pull ready time wanting whatever winning
I think we came into the game with aspects of winning the game. We came in wanting to win the ballgame and doing whatever we needed to do to pull it out, but at the same time now we have to put this behind us and get ready for Pittsburgh.
against anybody eyes fighting game matter odds
I think we're favored in my eyes, my teammates' eyes and my coaches' eyes. We're going out approaching this game like we're going to win. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. We've been fighting against all odds all season.
damn good
Damn right it's a good thing. He's happy. I'm happy.
bothers
I'm going to try to be there as much as I can for his family, ... It bothers me a lot.
admit apologize man start
I made a mistake, ... I'm man enough to admit and apologize for it. It's not a big deal, but it was big enough for me not to start the game. You live and learn.
hope involved opportunity parties works
Nothing has changed. We would hope to be able, if it all works out -- it's got to be all parties involved -- to have an opportunity to re-sign Rudi.
definitely four
That's big time. We'd definitely like to have zero, but we'll take four with a win.
came coach definitely fired game last motivation playoffs whatever
They came out fired up. Whatever their motivation was ? to get into the playoffs or because it was coach Vermeil?s last game ? they definitely came out and put on a show out there.
definitely franchise hit placed protect tag team though work
It wasn't really a shock. It's something the team had to do to protect them and definitely not let me hit the market. Even though they placed the franchise tag on me, we're still going to work on a long-term deal. Hopefully, we'll get something done by the 16th of March.
